Iconic&nbsp;Northern Irish rock band Ash return with a punchy, horror-tinged visual from Jed Shepherd.&nbsp;In the video for Race The Night, we see the group chained up and restrained in a&nbsp;grimy industrial location, under the watchful eye of a dangerous assailant.&nbsp;Slowly getting to grips with their instruments and returning to form, we see the trio go along for the ride, as the kidnapper - played by Riley - threatens them with a variety of weapons, before ending things with a slick poledancing routine.&nbsp;It's a brilliant comeback track, and under the direction Shepherd - one&nbsp;of horror's brightest talents - it has a memorable and captivating visual to boot.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Aya Tanimura directs a&nbsp;transatlantic production for Liam Payne's Sunshine, from the soundtrack of Disney film Ron's Gone Wrong.&nbsp;Jumping between a lighthearted performance section - with a chicken, which no doubt makes more sense within the context of the film - plus snapshots of both a live action narrative and scenes from the animated film, it's a full-on extravaganza, with plenty to keep viewers engaged.&nbsp;Focused on an overarching theme of spreading the love, both within the digital and real-world environments, it's a feel good, breezy promo that will leave you with a smile on your face.&nbsp;

Raja Virdi directs another&nbsp;of his signature one-shot live performances, this time for Maisie Peters' US&nbsp;TV debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden, featuring James Bay.Backdropped against a haunting forest set with various lighting effects, the angsty performance is buzzing with an enigmatic energy, and aesthetically reminiscent of a dark fairytale.&nbsp;It's an accomplished debut which packs an emotional punch, and a befitting showcase for a promising up and coming talent.&nbsp;

Charlie Sarsfield directs an introspective promo for James Arthur's Medicine.&nbsp;Shot in an empty theatre,&nbsp;the hallucinatory visual sees Arthur perform in a maze of rooms, each littered with remnants of a pre-Covid world.&nbsp;The use of mirrors and reflection&nbsp;elevates the kaleidoscopic aesthetic, whilst vibrant washes of colour and strobe lighting - care of DoP Stefan Yap - heighten the fantastical concept."Working with James felt like a real moment for me," says Sarsfield. "Having been a runner at MTV five&nbsp;years ago and doing second camera, to now directing his first video off his new album made me feel extremely grateful for the journey I've been on."The vibe on set was great, and everyone had fun, and working closely with James through the whole process was special."

James Slater directs a gothic fantasy for indie-rock outfit Pale Waves.&nbsp;Taking place in a nondescript church, the performance video is simple in concept, but executed to perfection, with vocalist Heather Baron-Gracie as the constant focus as a radiant goth bride.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Jon Muschamp's lighting adds an ethereal feel to the aesthetic, with effervescent bursts of colour inspired by stained glass windows and blue-tinged key lights to create a cold, almost haunting atmosphere.&nbsp;The production design is also a highlight, utilising scattered practical lights and candles to elevate the enigmatic concept.

Mat Whitecross returns to music videos with this&nbsp;gently quirky&nbsp;promo for Smith &amp; Burrows.The duo, made up of Andy&nbsp;Burrows, formerly of Razorlight, and Editors' Tom&nbsp;Smith, are each shown walking through Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath, being observed on their way by otherworldly puppets, watching&nbsp;from hidden vantage points.&nbsp;Building to a great crescendo, the pair happen across a huge group of these creatures, who have gathered to hear the duo perform in the middle of the forest.&nbsp;It's a true feat, and the puppets - care of the famous Little Angel Theatre in Islington, North London - are wonderfully designed; a combination of fairy tale beasts and acid-trip hallucinations.&nbsp;

Liam Gallagher and Christmas - on the face of it, not the likeliest combination. But Anthony Byrne manages to reconcile this&nbsp;apparent contradiction in his video for All You're Dreaming Of.Not that Yuletide is explicitly mentioned here, but Byrne keeps things simple yet seasonal, with Liam being his unsmiling, arguably Grinch-like self in a couple of reasonably festive settings. Working with editor Chris Roebuck, he has layered images over each other to inject a dreamier atmosphere. And as with his previous video for Gallagher, for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/08/30/liam-gallagher-one-us-anthony-byrne/60493" target="_blank">One Of Us</a>, the director best known for his work on Peaky Blinders completed this one in black and white.Ultimately it's Liam's heartfelt delivery of the song that gets the seasonal spirit flowing - and also sparks memories of his great inspiration John Lennon, who died 40 years ago this month.And as all the proceeds of the release will be donated to the charity&nbsp;<a href="https://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/" target="_blank">Action For Children UK</a>, Liam really is more like Santa than that gruff exterior suggests.

Myles Whittingham directs a very personal story of survival in his promo for Bugzy Malone's Don't Cry, featuring Dermot Kennedy.&nbsp;Alluding to Malone's&nbsp;near-fatal crash back in March - which left the artist with life-threatening injuries -&nbsp;the concept is presented as two parallel storylines, one anchored in realism and one in fantasy.&nbsp;Representing the fine line between life and death, we see a vicious boxing match, with Bugzy battling against a more powerful&nbsp;opponent, then cutting to see him&nbsp;fighting for his life for real, surrounded by paramedics and flashing blue lights.&nbsp;Matthew Taylor's cinematography is outstanding, aesthetically dividing the two vignettes through the use of contrasting camera movements and strong colour palettes. The boxing match in particular is suitably impactful - directed, shot and edited to be as cinematically brutal as possible.&nbsp;Action-packed, high energy and beautifully crafted, it is a visceral experience which is also reflective - with Kennedy adding his vocals from a hospital corridor, as if he is waiting for news about Bugzy.&nbsp;

Carly Cussen explores a tumultuous relationship in her video for Becky Hill's Space.&nbsp;The minimalist concept takes&nbsp;place in a series of artificial environments, each designed to distort&nbsp;the idea of distance and space.Open-ended staircases warp&nbsp;into surreal kaleidoscopes, separating the couple and their respective worlds, blocking the path back to normality. The video captures&nbsp;a sense of the universal isolation we are experiencing as an international community, and the fear&nbsp;that the world as we know it has changed forever.&nbsp;Loneliness and heartbreak are common themes in many music videos, but with this project, Cussen has created something emotionally affecting and haunting, which transcends traditional pop visuals.&nbsp;Anthony Neale's art direction also makes a big impact, with brutalist yet functional structures which highlight the drama in the concept.&nbsp;

Imogen Harrison dives into surrealism in&nbsp;the video&nbsp;for legendary&nbsp;new-wave outfit The Psychedlic Furs' Come All Ye Faithful.&nbsp;Following dancer Emma Holt through the isolated Suffolk coast, Harrison experiments&nbsp;with off-kilter dance snippets and undulating light&nbsp;to create a hyperactive and distorted aesthetic.&nbsp;Hauntingly unique and refreshing, the contrast of the black and white setups and hyper-saturated reds&nbsp;leans into the concept, and wraps the entire narrative in a cloud of mystery.&nbsp;
